Warden
Break their guard.
Set bonuses
Wear 2, 3 or 5 Warden pieces and each tier below switches on. They add up: at five pieces you have all three.
- 2+20%
pierce. - 3Strikes shred 25% of the target's current
armor. - 5The first time an enemy's armor breaks, it is stunned.
The fine print
- 3 pieces. Before each strike lands, the target loses a quarter of the armor it has left.
- 5 pieces. The first time each enemy's armor reaches zero it is stunned and skips its next turn. Once per enemy.
How it plays
The game's own set card sums Warden up in three lines:
Pierce, strip armor, stun on the break.
- Strong against: Armor and guards. Golems, bosses.
- Weak against: Burn, poison and drains skip armor.
The set stat
Every Warden piece has one stat, its set stat, that is multiplied by how many Warden pieces you wear. Two pieces double each one's set stat, five pieces count it five times. That is why a third and fourth piece are worth more than their own numbers suggest. See how sets work.
Pieces
Nine pieces: one for each of the seven slots, a second weapon and a second ring (you wear two rings). Stats shown are Common, found on floor 1.

Synergies
Two pieces of Warden with two pieces of another set wake a synergy:
- Chainbreaker with Bulwark: Your guard bash also shreds 25% of the target's current armor.
Finding it
Warden pieces appear from floor 1 on, in The Gilt Cellars and below. Loot leans toward the sets you already wear: each Warden piece on you makes the next one more likely, and while you wear two or more the floor market and the merchant offer a piece you are missing. Winning 20 battles with two or more Warden pieces on opens Gilded.
